Description:

This series contains records concerning the European Union Treaty of Accession 2003 (Athens, 16 April 2003) which were originally intended to be accessioned into the series FCO 85 but re-allocated into this new series in April 2008 as part of the programme of migration of digital records at The National Archives.

The files are dated 8 September 2000 to 29 July 2003; the types of file formats are bmp, doc, rtf, and tif.

These records were made available in December 2017 when for presentation purposes they were re-arranged from the original 7 electronic documents as follows:

  • CD 1 Signature Pages.
  • CD 2 Certified Copy.
  • CD 3 English Version of the text.
  • CD 4 Volume 1.
  • CD 5 Volume 2.
  • CD 6 Volume 3.
  • CD 7 Volume 4.

The original structure of the documents is reflected in the 'Arrangement' field for individual catalogue entries.

Descriptions have been provided in a narrative format where possible for the majority of the records; otherwise there are original Titles only.
